Black Baths
Sort by:
Black baths are freestanding bathtubs finished in black rather than standard white. Freestanding means the bath stands clear of the walls, so the shape is visible from every angle and the colour does the rest.
Perfect for master bathrooms, family bathrooms and larger en-suites. A black bath gives the room an immediate focal point, and against white tiles the contrast makes the whole space look deliberately designed. Freestanding means the bath stands clear of the walls, so the shape is visible from every angle.
Bathroom Mountain offers black baths as freestanding designs in 1500mm and 1700mm lengths, in matt black and transparent black finishes. Matt gives a soft, non-reflective surface while transparent black tints the acrylic itself. Acrylic is light to handle and holds heat well. A plumber fits yours, and the floor should be level and sound to carry the weight when full. A soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner keeps the matt finish even.
As a leading UK bathroom retailer, Bathroom Mountain offers affordable and quality black baths backed by our Price Match Promise, fast next-day UK delivery options and an Excellent Trustpilot rating, so you can buy with confidence.
What Is A Black Bath?
A black bath is a bathtub finished in black rather than standard white, made here as a freestanding design that stands away from the walls. The finishes available are matt black, which has a soft non-reflective surface, and transparent black, where the acrylic itself is tinted.
What Sizes Do Black Baths Come In?
Black baths here come in 1500mm and 1700mm lengths. The 1700mm is the standard UK bath length and suits most family bathrooms, while 1500mm works where floor space is tighter but you still want a freestanding bath.
Do Black Baths Show Water Marks More Than White?
Black shows limescale and water spots more clearly than white because of the contrast. A quick rinse and wipe after use keeps them looking their best, and in hard water areas that habit makes a real difference to how often deeper cleaning is needed.
How Do I Clean A Matt Black Bath?
Use a soft cloth with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and rinse thoroughly afterwards. Keeping scouring pads and strong acidic limescale removers away from the surface is what preserves the even matt finish over the years.
Does My Floor Need Checking Before Fitting A Freestanding Black Bath?
A full bath with someone in it is heavy, so the floor needs to be level and structurally sound. On a ground floor concrete slab that's rarely an issue, but on an upstairs timber floor it's worth having a plumber or builder check the joists first.
What Taps Should I Choose For A Black Bath?
Freestanding baths usually need floor-standing taps or a wall-mounted filler rather than taps mounted on the bath itself, so check what your chosen bath supports. Matt black taps give a coordinated all-black look, while brushed brass or chrome creates deliberate contrast.
Do I Need A Plumber To Fit A Black Bath?
Yes. The waste, overflow and water supply all need connecting correctly, and a freestanding bath needs the pipework positioned accurately in the floor before the bath is moved into place, so plan it with your plumber early.
How to Choose Black Baths for Your Bathroom?
To choose black baths for your bathroom, measure your floor space first and leave clearance to walk around a freestanding design. Decide between matt black and transparent black based on the look you want, check your floor can take the weight, and plan your tap arrangement with your plumber before ordering.
